Chris Stokes has one simple message ahead of Friday's title clash with Arbroath: Bring it on.
The Kilmarnock captain won't be fazed by the occasion having played in front of 70,000 fans at Wembley with Coventry, and he's relishing the chance to fire the Ayrshire side back into the Scottish Premiership.
A Killie victory on Friday night live on BBC will seal the Championship title with a game to spare, and with a sell-out Rugby Park awaiting it's set to be a cracker.
Stokes admits it was looking ropey at times throughout the season, but he didn't for one second think Killie wouldn't go up.
He said: "I had a good chat with the manager when he first came in. It was just about installing that belief in the players because you could see a few were feeling disappointed and had their heads down.
"But it wasn’t done and dusted then. It was the middle of the season and there was so much time to go.
"The main thing was getting the home form sorted. You are not going to win a league title if your home form is not very good.
"Since he’s come in, we’ve been fantastic at home and got the crowd right behind us in every game.
"You are going out on that pitch with a bounce in your step instead of thinking 'oh, it’s another game at home' and the pressure of everyone coming to watch.
"We are going out with a positive attitude. It’s a case of puffing your chest out and saying: 'Bring it on'.
"That’s been the main thing. Everyone is enjoying home games now, enjoying the added bit of pressure and the excitement.
"That’s what we’re going to need on Friday. These are the games you want to be playing in. You want to be enjoying these games so hopefully it will be a great one on Friday."
He added: "Regardless if you are playing in front of five, 10, 15, 70-odd thousand this is a big pressure game because it’s the games that we are striving to get ourselves towards.
"When we all stepped into this building and came together as a group, we spoke about getting ourselves into a position where we are fighting for a league title and we’ve got ourselves into it.
"We got into Friday with a positive attitude that all that hard work now comes down to this one game."
